...in self-preservation. Oh, to see beyond it... Oh, to break free! GOD... without definition... Where are you? Goodbye, definition. The unknown has to be "heaven" outside this dungeon of self thus far. Yes to floating in infinity, with nothing but unlimited possibility... Beyond any definition of ideas... things wished for. Goodbye, tyrant of the mind, once shouting directives as to how things should be. Tyrant, you no longer serve. Besides, there's nowhere left to go with you. Let these eyes be used to see the outside... shake the clouds loose and see loved ones without this veil of self-desire.

Beside the sea, Gilgamesh meets Siduri, "the woman of the vine, the maker of wine," who reminds him of the meaningfulness of being human. "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?" she asks. You will never find that life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him , but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man. (102) If it is "life" the gods retain in their keeping, it is not human life, for human life depends on the passage of time and the possibility of .

Like diving into a warm, indigo pool of eternity... It's different now... quiet, calm and still. I have the lungs to breath. The outside world keeps knocking... Yeah... yeah... I hear you... I like it in here... in the in-between.

Coughed up stinging bits of truth this morning. I dove a little deeper to test my new lungs and choked... Damn! When I loose faith in ALL greater than me, I reject exactly what I'm dying for. Sometimes the in-between ain't so pretty.

Nearly reached the bottom... The pit of tar... They say it does wonders for the complex-ion... Another shred of Ego rears up... Wants me backed into a corner... God; Angel; Universe; Higher Self; BRING IT ON! Cowering and sniveling, there's no place left to go but deeper and deeper into the muck of my own mis-steps while the Universe continues to remove all pacifiers...

I believe a person has know themselves and be honest with themselves. It isn't always pretty, especially when you first begin to accept certain things about yourself that you spent so long building walls of denial around. Once you have fully come clean to yourself you can begin to rebuild on that self-truth. That doesn't mean you have to go with what you are, you may find some things that are best left not acted upon, but you will understand yourself better able to understand those feelings and truths, where they come from and the best and most self-rewarding path to move forward on. Everything ultimately comes back to yourself, if you can't find any happiness in what you are doing, you not find any fulfilment in it and will likely ultimately fail at it. Seeking self-fulfilment is not evil. Even if you strive to make other happy, how can hope to be successful if you cannot find your own happiness?

Let go of the damned wheel, dumb ass (me)!!! Out Out Damned Ego! Blind as a bat and naked as a newborn. Thrashing about... the moment returns... Warm, sweet, silence. Once again, the deep thud returns the heart heard from within.

Slam! Slam slam! The roommate's door... The roommate - The mirror... A frown - A scowl... Thank you, roommate... Welcome, Teacher... Breathing once again...

The minds’ commandments loose their lore. They fade to nothing, reign no more. Predicted thought, once held to this… Divinely thrown into abyss... Chilling future - Once rejected… Vast potential - Now accepted… Mother… May I? …and be free??? …and throw this query back to thee?

Interesting as always, but very cryptic. Maybe we could make a religion of your writings.
